PLEASE NOTE: If you are looking for a refund from the community you subscribed to, LaunchPass isn't technically capable or legally authorized to process refunds - we are simply the membership platform. Only group owners can authorize refund requests. Refunds are not automatic and they are subject to the group's terms and conditions.

Why Was I Charged?

Common Reasons for Unexpected Charges:

  1. Processing Time

    • Cancellations take effect at the end of your current billing period

    • You maintain access until that date

  2. Grace Period

    • Some cancellations take 1-2 business days to process

    • Check your subscription status to confirm

  3. Multiple Subscriptions

    • You might have more than one active subscription

    • Check all your subscriptions in the Customer Portal

  4. Auto-Renewal

    • The subscription may have renewed before cancellation

    • Look for the cancellation confirmation email


Check Your Subscription Status

  1. Log in to your LaunchPass account

  2. Go to My Subscriptions

  3. Find the subscription in question

  4. Check the Status and Next Billing Date

What to Look For:

  • βœ… "Active" status means you'll be charged again

  • ❌ "Cancelled" status means no future charges

  • πŸ“… Note the cancellation date


Requesting a Refund

Important Refund Policy:

  • Only the group owner can authorize refund requests

  • LaunchPass cannot process refunds directly

  • Each community operates independently with its own terms

How to Request a Refund:

  1. Contact the Community Owner First

    • Message them directly through the platform

    • Be polite and include all relevant details such as:

      • Your full name

      • Email on the account

      • Date of the charge

      • Amount charged

      • Reason for refund request

  2. If No Response (after 2-5 business days):

    • Contact LaunchPass Support for assistance

    • We can provide the community's support email if needed

    • Include all previous communication attempts

  3. What to Expect:

    • Response time varies by community

    • Refund decisions are at the owner's discretion

    • Processing may take 5-10 business days


Preventing Future Charges

Before Canceling:

  1. Check your next billing date

  2. Set a reminder 3 days before to cancel

  3. Keep your cancellation confirmation email

After Canceling:

  1. Verify the cancellation in your account

  2. Check that the status shows "Cancelled"

  3. Remove any saved payment methods if desired

Monitor Your Account:

  • Check bank statements regularly

  • Set up transaction alerts

  • Keep records of all cancellations
